The brand new single from John Mark McMillan is here.
“Mercury & Lightning” is the title track off of his seventh studio album, which you can preorder Friday.
He explained the title was inspired by Roman mythology.

Mercury is the god of financial gain, commerce, communication, travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves”, he said. “If something is hard to catch, understand or lock down, it’s known to be ‘mercurial’ or ‘like Mercury.’ The story of the new record begins with a conversation about all the things we run after, give our lives to–even die for–that often seem so mercurial and mysterious.
